you the latest in science technology from. the future. for the. we've got it from. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on. live from our studios here in central moscow this is the top stories of the libyan rebels rapid advance towards the capital is halted as nic pushed further back from the skillets of get that these town halls of heavy bombardment by pro-government forces despite declaring a cease fire. for heavyweights are in london to thrash out what's next for libya but not the government nor the delegates were invited to the meeting even though the future of their country has been decided. and russia remembers the thirty eight

victims of the moscow metro blast a year ago after two suicide bombers blew themselves up during the morning rush hour in the field of all the suspects behind the crimes of unit and pride and most have a few minutes. about another update in fifteen minutes from r.t. talks to american civil rights activist cornel west once a vocal a bomber supporter in l. says the president's recent policy decisions betray the campaign rhetoric. that interview is next. dr cornell west is among america's most provocative intellectuals a princeton professor and lifelong pioneer of working class rights and racial justice. at this year's left forum conference in new york city dr west's appearance truth thousands of activists aiming to revitalize the american left want to be the

solidarity with martin luther king. once a vocal supporter of u.s. president barack obama dr west tells r t why his opinion has drastically changed dr west thank you very much for taking the time to speak with r.t. that's the band here dr west you are one of twelve hundred speakers from around the world who have come here to new york to take part in the left forum this theme it's called tell words the politics of solidarity why do you think that like this is so important one of the just want to pay tribute to the visionary figures behind the left former place that's important world stating that we are now experiencing a we're at a cold democratic awakening in the american empire in the united states people are affected by what's going on in northern africa deeply affected by what's going on in the middle east and more and more now she what is happening in madison wisconsin

in columbus ohio you know in other capitals so that i think we've had so much sleep walking in the united states where of course. wall street oligarchs and corporate elites have been not just down the mating but in many ways losing billions and billions of dollars from the public funds. in based on their financial love shot of the shadow financial system making be as and . as of dollars as poor and working people are pushed to the margins and i think more and more working class persons who thought they had a secure existence recognized that their plight is more and more time to the plight of poor people and tied to the plight of working poor people so you were experiencing now the early stages of a kind of shift in perception in the united states after west you have mentioned

several times that our naira cans are working harder than ever before they are earning less than ever before and the economic disparities in this country are deepening and keeping. you call yourself a critical supporter of u.s. president barack obama how much you assess his leadership and particularly president obama living up to the promises that he made when he became president but i think that he has now lying to himself what forces that promote the abandonment of poor people and the neglect of working people so i would characterize the obama as a charismatic version of american exceptionalism with a keynesian neoliberalism at home and i'm a liberal neo conservatism abroad which is a say he's the friendly face of the american empire of the world and internally

he's a centrist now leaning toward the right. and he's in the process actually of becoming very sadly a pawn of big finance and a puppet of big business and that's a very sad assessment because he's began with such magnificent democratic rhetoric during the campaign his rhetoric at sea when he brought a guy in there and summers in the holbrooke and others on the foreign policy was clear he would resign. likely include knights it was the neo liberal reconstitution and it was the very moment in which we could have undermined the neo liberal consensus both domestically and and internationally he decided to reaffirm it in reconstituted with all due respect dr west americans did know where his campaign contributions were coming from that's true it was clear and transparent and known

that goldman sachs and other wall street banks were making very large political donations to obama but but ordinary people gave a lot of money to yes so we had all the need we thought that it was some balancing because yes he got big money from goldman sachs to get big money from wall street oligarchs but then you get all this financial and spiritual and moral support from everybody. and the trade union movement so you would think there would be some counterbalancing and that's what we have yet to see in the two have years and of course right now it's just a preoccupied reelection dr west our poll came out just a few weeks ago indicating that confidence among americans is that a thirty five year low that brings us to a carter era presidency i mention this because i know that you are planning and events for early april and you're calling on all americans to take part in this

event from what i read is about empowering the people of this country to fight back against the corporate rule as you call it you talked to me about this event which is actually led by my dear sister the very distinguished professor francis fox people and we will be a jackson memorial church to a close to the fifth we will be and hundreds of schools will be piping in to zero in on. the key chain. will have a dialogue for two hours or so then they'll have another hour to have dialogue to focus on local issues all around the nation and it is an attempt to reinforce this radical democratic awakening that's taking place in the united states made very much by brothers and sisters in wisconsin. but also connecting it to quick peeks of foreign policy connecting it to critiques of white supremacy connecting it to

critiques of male supremacy connecting it to the case of homophobia connected to critiques of anti-semitism and the arab racism but most important of your critique of american imperial policy american. economic inequality do you think the growing consensus among americans right now is that there needs to be on mobilization or knowing that people to bring about change that change can come through the leadership of one man i think that is a fundamental message but i mean unfortunately that was seared in the campaign in two thousand and eight and it's never about one name elected official it's really about the people we're going i think i don't know but i think but at the same time we have to acknowledge that these could use wells being oligarchs and corporate elites tied to not just the financial corporate complex that we talk about this tonight but the military industrial complex tied to the prison industrial complex

tied to the payment corporate media complex makes it very difficult for people to believe that we can make a difference and that's what we're here at this left form to let people know we can make a difference we have in the past we do now and we wield in the future. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world is seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are the day.
